How We Can Help
Review the claim
We discuss the amount claimed, the basis of the debt and the relationship between the parties.
Organise supporting evidence
We organise contracts, invoices, payment records, correspondence, acknowledgements and relevant delivery or service records.
Consider resolution options
Depending on the circumstances, options may include direct communication, repayment discussions or settlement proposals.
Discuss formal recovery routes
Where informal resolution is unsuccessful or inappropriate, we help clients understand the need for further professional advice and possible formal procedures.
Documents That May Be Helpful
- Contracts and agreements
- Invoices and statements
- Payment records
- Correspondence and acknowledgements
- Relevant delivery or service records
- Existing legal notices or case documents
A Structured Approach to Debt Recovery
A debt claim should be assessed on its own facts. The existence of an invoice or agreement does not, by itself, guarantee recovery.
We focus on helping clients understand the documentation, potential issues and practical next steps. Any formal legal action, enforcement or court representation must follow the applicable procedures and be handled by appropriately authorised professionals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help recover an unpaid business invoice?
We can review the circumstances, help organise the relevant records and discuss possible approaches to pursuing the outstanding amount.
What documents should I prepare?
Usually, it is helpful to gather the agreement, invoices, payment history, correspondence and any acknowledgement of the debt.
Can a debt be settled without going to court?
Some disputes may be resolved through negotiation or settlement. Whether this is possible depends on the parties' positions, the evidence and the circumstances.
Can you guarantee that the debt will be recovered?
No. Recovery depends on the facts, evidence, applicable procedures and other circumstances, including the debtor's ability to pay.
